Gramene's outreach at PAG

Several of Gramene's personnel were present at the 2010 Plant and Animal Genome (PAG) conference in San Diego, CA. We presented posters on metabolic pathway networks for cereal plants, genome visualization tools, and using our genetic diversity data for genotype-phenotype association analysis in grass species as well as flowering time variation across three plant species. We additionally presented an hour-long demonstration of using the Gramene website as a genomics and genetics resource for rice and other grasses. We also had the pleasure to participate in an outreach booth manned by many other plant databases including CottonDB, GDR, GrainGenes, LIS, MaizeGDB, Maizesequence.org, Oryzabase, PlantGDN, SGN, SCRI, Soybase, and SGN. It was a welcome opportunity to interact directly with our users and researchers wishing to add to and use Gramene.
